The suspect, who has not been named, was caught on police body camera saying 'Allahu Ackbar' several times before he was capsicum sprayed and detained. Police have ruled out any political or religious motivation behind the attack, and Detective Superintendent Ray Rohweder said Ayliffe-Chung had no interest in the offender. The man will appear via video link at Townsville magistrate court on August 26.
From earlier articles. The man screams the name of Allah during his attack - but police rule out any 'religious motivation'. Bloody ridiculous. I get to some limited extent what they are getting at - there doesn't seem to be any politically motivated plan here - but the man's religious beliefs certainly seem to have relevant to what he did.
As for Mr Tom Jackson - "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
I do not know if he was a man of faith - but that is, at least, the religious culture he was raised in.
I'll be making inquiries to see if he has been recommended for an Australian bravery decoration - everything I've seen makes me think he deserves it. Unfortunately it will be posthumous.

The word “hero” is overused, but in this case it is appropriate. May God bless this brave hero.

So, a guy named “Smail Ayad” attacks a woman yelling “Allah Ackbar” and the pigs can’t find a religious or terrorist motive?
Yeah, right.
They need different guys to become police officers.

Let’s get back to that later. For now, we mourn a brave Brit who shows there is still HOPE for England.
But we should DEFINITELY get back to that later.

Thanks.
The country Barbra Streisand wants to move to.
Sadly, although I think Oz is tough on jihadis, there is no safe place until one country - our own - does something important, tough and strong.
Go, Trump, go!

French national Smail Ayad, 29, has been charged with Ms Ayliffe-Chungs murder, along with the attempted murder of Mr Jackson and another man. Does Australian law allow that attempted murder charge to be 'upgraded' to murder?

I guess the Only Unasnwered question is "Why"
I know the Reason (Islam) but was this planned? Lone Wolf? Part of a Cell? Did he have contacts?
That POS needs to spill all that Info, the say a Naked Man has Few Secrets.
A Flayed Man None.
He should be Strung up in the Town Square and his Skin sent to Syria as a Warning.
